While size 16 Candice Huffine and Ashley Graham are paving the way for the future, there is still a lack of curve models compared to the abundance of catwalk models commonly weighing in at a UK size 4.

"It's a shame that women still aren't represented on the catwalks during fashion week, especially as the average dress size in the UK is 16.

"For so many, a model's body shape and size is very unachievable, but thanks to the media we are lead to believe that this is 'perfection'.

"Rosie has a beautiful body and is set to be an inspiration for us all."

Simply Be's new TV ad, filmed in New York, reveals a fresh, representative approach to marketing fashion by throwing the spotlight on Rosie, Chanelle, Angel and Charlotte (sizes 12 to 20) battling to win a professional modelling contract.

Rosie says:

"I'm totally overwhelmed and don't think I'm over the shock. The journey so far has been amazing and I can't wait to start modelling professionally – and show what a woman with curves can do!"

"I really hope my story inspires others to follow their dreams."
